Running through ideas of building a GSR from scratch since my LS is getting up there in miles and barely passing smog now a days. And plus it'd be a big improvement anyways.
I came across a guy that has a GSR motor already disassembled and said he'd sell it for $500.
Initial contact with the guy revealed this information about the engine:
"94 gsr disassembled. All parts are there. Needs to be rehoned or bored out. Head is fine. About 150,000 miles, rebuilt once before."
The already being rebuilt kind of made me nervous so I asked for some more info about it and got this:
"had water in 1 cylinder, went to do the head gasket and noticed some scoring of 2 cylinder walls. I was going to bore it out, but I never got to it. All cylinder were from 190-205psi, pretty healthy."
Was curious about taking a look at it but have no idea what to look for when doing this.
Any general tips would be appreciated, don't need spoon fed info because I can google that stuff and I ordered a book that received good reviews which should be here tomorrow.
